animation is choppy

[GeordieJenner]

i have two animations, one runs smooth, the other is choppy at best. i start with a view off of the screen .Left=2000, and then move it to .Left=0. the difference, in the choppy one i am dynamically loading layout before i start the animation, as below:
m.grdPanelToMoveIn.LoadLayout(m.strLayoutIn)
m.annMoveActiveIn.Start(m.grdPanelToMoveIn)
i tried adding a DoEvents, but no help.

If the panel is full of views then it might be more difficult for Android to animate it. Adding DoEvents will not help in this case.

is this because the 'view' is 'too heavy', meaning there is a lot of items translating, and if so, may there be a trick to smooth it out.

Did you try Basic4android Search: SlidingPanels code module? Maybe it is what you are looking for.
